About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Louisiana regulates manufactured-home installers through the Manufactured Housing Commission, housed under the Office of the State Fire Marshal. State law conditions an installer license on a $25,000 surety bond (or an equivalent irrevocable letter of credit), maintained while the license is active.

The bond backs the installer's compliance with Louisiana's manufactured-home installation standards under Title 51. If an installer's faulty work or statutory violation harms a homeowner, the harmed party can recover against the bond, up to the $25,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Installers who follow the commission’s installation standards treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep your filing continuous with renewal notices ahead of each annual cycle.

La. R.S. 51:912 et seq. (Manufactured Housing Commission)Louisiana manufactured-home installers are licensed by the Manufactured Housing Commission (under the Office of the State Fire Marshal) and must maintain a $25,000 surety bond, or an equivalent irrevocable letter of credit, while licensed. The bond backs compliance with the installation standards in La. R.S. 51:912 et seq. Confirm the current amount and filing form with the commission, since manufactured-housing licensing rules are periodically amended.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Louisiana installer bond? +
The premium is $750 — a flat 3% of the $25,000 bond amount, the same for every installer. The $25,000 is set by the commission, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
How is the installer bond different from the retailer bond? +
An installer who sets up homes posts this $25,000 bond; a retailer who sells homes posts a $50,000 bond. If you both sell and install, the commission may require both — confirm with them.
When does it renew? +
The commission renews installer licenses annually, and the bond must stay active for the life of the license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
